Professional Background  



Yoga Background  
15 years ago, yoga was the miracle food I consumed in order to keep my mind and body healthy enough to engage in extreme sports. There was, of course, no other purpose for yoga. Weekly classes kept my joints strong and nimble for climbing, mountaineering, telemarketing, mountain biking and all the rest. I kept this my secret as I hauled 100+ pound packs over mountain ranges throughout the world, listening to the writhing and moaning of my companions. "No pain no brain" they would say as they reached for their cool light-weight graphite ski poles, a necessity to stop their hopelessly damaged knees from completely giving out under the weight of their packs and the demands of our adventures.


The mastique of traveling, and constant brushes with death, had begun to wear-off when I met my husband Jia at a yoga workshop with K. Pattabhi Jois in Boulder. Our first date was a three-month stint in Mysore, India where Patahbhi introduced me to the breadth of Asana practice and the extreme depth of yoga philosophy. Ashtanga practice kept my body very strong and my mind so quiet, I barely noticed my transformation into a mother of three with a mortgage.


In August of 1998 I retreated from my family to Inner Harmony for a teacher training with John Friend. Although I had studied with John annually for over 10 years, it was during this week that John provided the missing piece to my practice. That piece was Anusara. I witnessed, in amazement, as my mental understanding and physical understanding of yoga joined together in song and celebration.


My husband, Jia, and I now continue our dedicated yet humble daily practice. It is the greatness of my teachers; Richard Freeman, K. Pattabhi Jois and John Friend that make me feel as if I may never have the understanding it will take to truly teach. So, More then a teacher, I am forever an assiduous student of this incredible art form and science, called yoga.
